Reboot of the Superman movie franchise and the beginning of the DC Cinematic Universe, with Henry Cavill as the man of steel. Directed by Zack Snyder, of 300 and Watchmen fame. Written by David Goyer and Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight Trilogy.

He was very solid if you ask me. He didn't get to that many lines but he managed to say a lot with his expressions alone, like the scene at the bar for example. He really shined in all the emotional scenes like Jonathan Kent's death or Zod's death.

Overall I was throughly impressed with his performance. Plus, he looks a lot like Pre-52 Superman.
